  • When your grandparents were young, racism was still considered somewhat normal. And in cartoons, popular media, etc… there was a particular depiction of people with a dark skin tone that was used in a derogatory manner.

    Recreating this appearance on someone’s face was later termed “blackface”. And less complete variants of it are still considered offensive by some.

    I can’t place myself in that perspective, but I think I’m lucky not to have been part of that culture.
